General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Sorry to hear of his sufferings. In fact valvular surgery is always complex, however after a successful surgery, without complication, the patient should be conscious the next day. As you have already mentioned, his case seems to be a bit complicated and things are not that fine. Jaundice and no response at day 9 (without any sedation drugs) does not appear to be normal. His story appear a bit alarming. But lets hope he gets well in sometime. Things may get better in sometime.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mahboob Ur Rahman
